Do you know I love you? And even now, I adore you still The world was less cruel once Do you know I miss you? Not enough words match what I feel Though we will surely meet again Do you know I tell you Let go, it's all right, it's true I'll be right here as long as needed Do you know I love you? Even though you left across the blue I know I wasn't meant to follow Do you know I miss you? What became of the boy I once knew? Life is so uncaring too often Do you know I love you? Though I let you go, my soul knows You will be returning home one day Until then, I tell you, Stay strong as you once taught me too Error and tragedy aren't all we are And if I can survive The surely you can too and I'll be here I promise and love always
Aren't you the one who looked down, saying take it easy Keep moving and don't forget to breathe But the ghosts aren't in you Flickering always nearby, just out of sight You said, without looking, as you do Keep moving and it will be all right Well, that was a fucking lie Come with me to the cemetery Pay respects though the caskets rest empty All the souls lost that day? They followed me home and swim inside me Will they go away if I bleed? The gilded throne you sit on is too high All the clouds keep the demons out of mind Why else do you keep asking Just what the hell is wrong with me? You would know if you were listening Surely you would know if you would see Come with me to the cemetery Pay respects though the caskets rest empty All the souls lost that day? They followed me home and swim inside me Will they go away if I bleed? And maybe I need someone to hold me Take my hand and just show me All the ashes, all these bones All the remains of my shattered soul Won't be what
The clouds gave away to the sun They say the storm is over and now I am free Rebuild my world stronger still I have never been the only one The Other Side is left untouched by me I shouldn’t, I couldn’t, I will Pour my pain into something beautiful I think I’ll keep carrying it instead Where was this support last I tried to speak? Such condescension yet I’m the pitiful Maybe I just am not ready yet Healing is a tragic sort of bittersweet

Professional Company
I hate my friends
And they hate me
But we play pretend
Cuz we're always together, you see
And in the end
We're tired and burned out and wandering
Wistful and lonely
And finding others is exhausting
That's how it be
Convenient, distracting company
The worst sickness?
The one I inflicted
On myself during the distance
From you to my own heart
Are you still my star?
Bright are your virtues
I do everything now to protect you
Please wait just a little longer
If I push just a little farther
You will finally be safe forever
I know you'll forgive me
Once I secure this final victory
It's for you and you'll see
I haven't truly strayed
I have figured out the way
What is this now before me?
Blood and song of my own
You and the enemy in league
Saying there is something
Dark and ill and blind in me
Distance did now lead me
To what you wanted for me
Blood and song of my own
It's too late and you
